The Sun Family Ancestral Hall is newly built. Although it is not magnificent, it is also clean, tidy, spacious and solemn.

But it was a bit crowded tonight, and the atmosphere was a bit weird. The yard was full of people, not only men and women, but also many faces mixed with excitement. They were all family members of the side branches, especially those women who were concubines and were not qualified to enter the ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall is not Sun Zhong, Sun Zhong is just one of the ancestors of the past. Because of Sun Jian and Sun Ce's official career, they became a little different. The total population of the Sun family in Fuchun is two or three hundred. Except for Sun Ben and others who are in other places, most of them cannot come back to celebrate the New Year.

After all, Sun Jing is a scholar, and he is justified in everything he does and does not want to be laughed at. After the sacrifice to his ancestors, he thought about it and came up with an idea to discuss with several old men in the clan of his uncles and uncles. Etiquette changed at that time, and the Sun family should be the first to respond to Sun Ce's new policy. Sun Ce advocates equality between men and women, and women can go to official positions, and concubines cannot enter the ancestral hall to change the old rules. Today we will participate in the ancestor worship together to practice the new style.

In order to prove this truth, Sun Jing was arbitrary and a three generations of different etiquette arguments, and almost all the knowledge he knew was brought out. These old men had never been an official or read books, but were just older. Because of Sun Jian and Sun Ce's power, Sun Jing agreed without thinking about it.

The Sun clan is just a clan of Fuchun. Many people have never left Fuchun County in their lives. They don’t know how big the world outside is. Entering the ancestral hall to worship ancestors on New Year’s Eve is both a ritual and a rare gathering. Especially today, Sun Jian and Sun Ce returned home together, with a huge momentum, and they all want to come and see it. Although the women who are concubines are envious, they have no hope. Suddenly they heard that they can attend, and no matter what the situation at home is, they are dressed up clean and neatly. When they first entered the ancestral hall, they were both excited and a little nervous.

In the afternoon, before it was dark, the ancestral hall was full of people.

After the men bowed one by one according to their seniority, the women began to enter the venue. Compared with the men's relatively monotonous clothing, although women's makeup and clothing are mainly solemn, they are still much more beautiful after all. It has to be said that the Sun family's genes are still good. At least everyone has a good facial features and a higher level of equality. No one has deformed shape. In the ceremony of ancestor worship, everyone took out good clothes under the box, and some even put on new clothes in advance, which looked glamorous.

However, when Mrs. Wu showed up with Yuan Quan and others, all the glamours before were eclipsed.

Mrs. Wu walked in front, Yuan Quan, Yin Wei, Feng Wan, Mi Lan, Gan Mei, Huang Yueying and Zhen Mi stood in a row behind her, like stars urging the moon, and as Mrs. Wu stepped forward to salute, she looked straight and was not bad at all. Although the movements were the same, they showed it invisibly more pleasing to the eye. Not only did they behave naturally and smoothly, but they also had an indescribable beauty, which made people sincerely hold their breath and dare not be presumptuous.

Sun Yi and Sun Quan changed positions, arched Sun Ce with their elbows, and said softly: "Brother, the three masters from the four generations are different. Look at the ceremony of the Yuan family's sister-in-law, this courtesy is really good."

Sun Ce turned his head. "Is it a good-looking person or a good-looking courtesy?"

"It's good-looking, and the etiquette is good." Sun Yi laughed and said, "Aying is good-looking, but this etiquette may not be learned. In the future, she will come to worship her ancestors, so she has to ask the Yuan sister-in-law to teach her first."

"Okay, then you can say that to your sister-in-law, she will definitely help you."

"Of course, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family loves us younger brothers and sisters the most, and they protect us even more than the eldest and second sisters."

Sun Shangxiang also quietly squeezed over. "Yes, yes, yes, my third brother is right. I like the Yuan sister-in-law the most. The snacks she makes are the most delicious."

Sun Kuang and Sun Lang agreed in unison, only Sun Quan said nothing. Sun Ce glanced at him and saw his pair of blue eyes staring at Yuan Quan and others. Sun Ce felt unhappy and raised his hand to pat the back of his head. "What are you looking at?"

Sun Quan woke up from his dream, touched his head quickly and smiled, "Brother, you concubines are really... no, I want to say, I will bring back a few blond and blue-eyed Hu girls in the future, can I enter the ancestral hall?"

"It depends on what kind of Hu girl you are bringing. If you are a princess from a certain country or have extraordinary talent and virtue, it should be fine. If you are just entertaining people with singing and dancing, I guess Ahon and uncle won't agree."

Sun Quan was thinking and silent.

At this time, Mrs. Wu and others had finished their salutes, turned to face everyone, and said with a faint expression: "Everyone, these are all concubines taken by the Dog Bofu. The army is in a hurry and has not been able to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors over the years, and they have no chance to pay homage to you. Today, I will take this opportunity to let them greet you. If you have any negligence, please forgive me."

After saying that, Mrs. Wu gave Yuan Quan a wink. Yuan Quan responded, moved his lotus steps lightly, his skirt was not moved, and his shoes were not exposed. He gave generous salutes to several elders first, and then bowed around him.

"I am Yuan Quan, the Yuan family in Runan, born in the year of Guichou, and entered the gate of Sun family in the year of Renshen. I have met you."

When everyone heard the four words "Runan Yuan Family", they immediately exclaimed. There were many people who knew that Sun Ce wanted to marry Yuan Shu's daughter, but there were not many people who knew that Sun Ce had a concubine from Yuan Family. The Yuan Family of Runan was a three-monarch of four generations and was one of the few powerful families in the world. I don't know how many steps it was higher than the Sun Family. Sun Ce was able to take Yuan's daughter as his wife, and there was actually a concubine from Yuan Family of Runan?

Amid the exclamation, Yuan Quan returned to his position and threw encouraging eyes at Yin Xi. Yin Xi was not particularly nervous. He had entered the ancestral hall of the He family in Nanyang, not to mention the Sun family's ancestral hall, in terms of honor and style, the Sun family's ancestral hall cannot be compared with the He family's ancestral hall.

"I am Yin Xi, a member of Yin, Henan, born in the year of Yimao. I entered the gate of Sun in the year of Xinwei. I have seen you."

Everyone was still immersed in surprise at Yuan Quan's family background, and did not take this Henan Yin family seriously. Mrs. Wu said: "Everyone, Yin Gongduan, the eldest father of Yin Yu, was once the prefect of Kuaiji, and is currently serving as the martial arts lecture hall to sacrificial wine. It is of great help to the war between the husband and the son."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise. Although Fuchun belonged to Wujun, he was adjacent to Kuaiji and was more familiar with Kuaiji, and the martial arts lecture hall was one of the most well-known halls. Yin Yu's father was once the prefect of Kuaiji, and now he is still a sacrificial sacrificial sect in the martial arts lecture hall. In such a family, he actually married Sun Ce as a concubine? But thinking about it, even the women of the Yuan family in Runan could be Sun Ce's concubine, and there was nothing else.

Sun's family is about to be prosperous. If not, it would be difficult for Sun Ce to marry one of these women, let alone be a concubine.

After Yin Wei, Feng Wan came forward to report to her family. Although the Feng family of Fufeng was not a big family, Feng Fang had been a Sili lieutenant and the right lieutenant of the eight lieutenant in Xiyuan. It was enough to make the Sun clan hold his breath.

Mi Lan followed closely. The Mi family had no outstanding points in their career, but the financial resources of the East China Sea merchants were enough to make Sun bow down and exclaim. Gan Mei's identity was very average and did not cause any reaction. Huang Yueying's Wujun Wood School's identity caused a burst of exclamation. Zhen Mi was also relatively plain. The Sun clan members had no impression of Jizhou, and they were not sure what the four words Zhen in Zhongshan meant, but were just impressed by Zhen Mi's beauty. Although she was only thirteen years old and her national beauty had begun to show signs, she was not as bright and charming as Feng Wan. The beauty that was about to bloom was even more heartbreaking.

After all, Sun Quan was more knowledgeable. After hearing Qishu's report to his family, he sighed secretly. The seven concubines of the eldest brother were either proud of their family background, charming country, or extraordinary talent. The only one who could compare with these seven people was the princess. But thinking about it soon a real princess entered the Sun family and was a concubine, he felt very desperate. Whether it was his achievements or his private boudoir, the possibility of surpassing Sun Ce was slim.

There is a lot of pressure.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Sun Ce talked and laughed with his younger brothers and sisters, especially Sun Kuang and Sun Lang, whom they didn't see much. They were studying with Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao had a good impression of them, especially Sun Kuang, who was the few seeds of study among the Sun brothers. Sun Ce chatted with him for a long time and indirectly understood Zhang Zhao's thoughts.

As he was speaking, Yang Yi, who was standing by the roadside, waved at him. Sun Ce understood and asked Sun Quan to take his younger siblings back first. He left the crowd and walked aside with Yang Yi. Yang Yi reported a message. Zhao Wen came and asked to see Sun Ce as soon as he got off the boat. He looked anxious and seemed to be in dispute. Yang Yi tentatively said a few words, but he refused to say a word.

Sun Ce was very surprised. Zhao Wen arrived at Fuchun at this time, probably not for the purpose of an edict. It would take him at least half a month to arrive here from Chang'an. It would have no effect on one or two days, so he would not have to wait on New Year's Eve. He would definitely have something to delay doing this, but he refused to disclose it to Yang Yi, indicating that the matter was either confidential or inconvenient to speak out.

Sun Ce thought about it and turned around to find Sun Jian. Sun Jian was silent for a moment, looked up at the distance, and sighed.

"Bofu, you go and deal with it."

Sun Ce looked at Sun Jian's expression. "Aweng, do you... know what's going on?"

"I don't know, but I can guess. Zhao Wen is a real man who wants to do everything so much. He is so wronged and begging for everything. It's not for himself, either for the court or for the people. Bo Fu, you can't agree to him, but you can't be rude."

Sun Ce followed Sun Jian's gaze and looked at the snow-capped hillside in the distance, and understood a little. Since Wu County had such heavy snow, the snow in Guanzhong would probably be even bigger, and Zhao Wen might have to come for money and ask for food. Sun Jian knew that he was not well-off and could not reject Zhao Wen flatly, so he simply refused to come forward and Sun Ce would solve the problem himself.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look. When the matter is over, Ahon will come forward to entertain him."

Sun Jian nodded and watched Sun Ce and Yang Yi walk quickly, feeling a little sad. He turned around and looked at the northwest direction. The sunset had already set, and even the afterglow in the sky was about to dissipate, leaving only a splash of brilliant light and shadow. The night was coming, and when the sun shone on the earth again, it was the new year.
